Vinosia 2005 Vigna Marziacanale Aglianico (Irpinia)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
This thickly extracted Aglianico is dark, absolutely impenetrable and almost too much of a good thing. Black fruit aromas are backed by ash, toast and spice. The wine is so thick and dense its texture is closer to syrup or reduction sauce than it is to wine.

Vinosia 2007 Greco (Greco di Tufo)
- $23
This wine has all the qualities you look for in a good Greco di Tufo: the aromas are fragrant and fruity and there is a solid mineral backbone for structure and dimension. Made from grapes grown in volcanic, sulfur-rich soils, the wine offers pretty tropical fruit flavors.

Vinosia 2007 Doceassaje White (Irpinia)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Passion fruit, papaya and mango color this naturally aromatic blend of Fiano and Greco. The wine is slightly sweet with soft tones of fruit and honey that give it roundness, dimension and staying power.

Vinosia 2004 Aglianico (Taurasi)
- Online Exclusive
- $33
This is a polished and intense wine with super thick concentration, a black inky appearance, and almost too much black fruit, mineral and spice. It is the Great Wall of Southern Italian wines with impenetrable density, sweet flavors and a chewy, solid-state texture.

Vinosia 2006 Vecchie Vigne Primitivo (Primitivo di Manduria)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
Packaged in a heavy, oversized black bottle, this brawny wine delivers power, bulging muscle and aromas that exaggerate in every way possible. The most noticeable feature (so noticeable, it knocks you in the face) is the wood element that comes off as fresh carpentry or wood shavings. The wine is heavy, syrupy and sweet tasting.
